Hey whoa whoa, how can anything ever be TOO abrasive c'mon now, I got all the raspy feelings. Alright, some lyrics:
\\
Hello again / I've crossed the distance to be / here today so that I can see / approximately what you might perceive / to be the me(me) I desperately wanna believe
Desperately wanna believe / desperately wanna believe / desperately wanna believe / desperately wanna believe / desperately wanna believe
(I want your)
Attention! Affection!
--
Is it the end of my turn? / This must be the end of the world
--
Hello again / now I see whatcha mean: / wholly reliant on emotional machines / failures of consciousness face-painting / scene after scene after scene of idealistic scenes
Idealistic scenes / Idealistic scenes / Idealistic scenes / Idealistic, Idealistic / Scenes, scenes
(I want more)
Retention! Redemption!
--
Is it the end of my turn? / This must be the end of my world
--
Hollow followers / building / mirrored bubbles / to reside inside / and cast aside the outside
'Goya' is a word when unreal / is so real it is / synonymous with a story well told
--
Please, notice me
You're on fire, another sun
Please, notice me
You're on fire, while I burn~

Hey hey. So I feel like this track right now is the absolute zenith of what I've managed to come out with in terms of composition, recording, musician-y stuff... and I'm super into the tones of the guitars and bass, which can drive me super nuts. Anyway!
Even if you're not into the heavier, weirder side of the spectrum, I hope ya'll find something to dig here.

Hello hello,
So I'm working on a solo record and I'm not super-sure what to call its vibes anymore. It was pretty straight-up metal for a while, and now it's... this?
I'm just running through some mix ideas now trying to get a feel for where I want things. It's fun! It's maddening! Music! XD

Hey hey, So this year I've decided to broaden my musical horizons and play (live) bass with a trap/hip-hop crew. It's cool! I'm learning a lot. Mostly about 'pulling back,' which is super odd for me since I've been playing hyper-technical progressive stuff for years and years. Anyway, I'm so into this that I thought I'd write my own track (and completely rip the epic Battle Royale opening in the process): https://soundcloud.com/anonfemme/xk-foxes-death-rattle-royale

It's cool, but really unusual to hear stuff like this so lo-fi! Is that intentional? I'm big on drums and they're barely audible here... but I can def appreciate flipping things around. They're noticeably fake, though. What're you using?
